Random s**t: Haohmaru is the strongest DLC spirit so far:

Haohmaru - 10888
The Mighty Jinjinator - 10441
Great Sabrecat - 10405
Kyo Kusanagi - 9755
King Slime - 9701
Iori Yagami - 9224
Morgana - 9146
Golem - 8869
Mumbo Jumbo - 8744
Ryo Sakazaki - 8647
Ralf & Clark - 7782
Ryuji Sakamoto - 7495
Ann Takamaki - 7317
Bottles - 7150
Joe Higashi - 5543
Yusuke Kitagawa - 4988
Haru Okamura - 4434

Haohmaru is, in fact, the 4th strongest Ace Level Spirit, behind Hero Chao (11151), Maria Renard (11211) and Yellow Devil (11429).
Aah, looks like Haohmaru's journey to become the strongest is finally bearing fruit, then!

Hooray I always wanted to be bodied in Stamina mode.

I'm guessing characters will be:
Ryu
Ken
Terry
Little Mac
Kirby

Or it could just be a ruleset change.

It's crazy, you take out Kirby from that photo and I would have never guessed that was promo art for a Super Smash Bros. game.

Assuming we get something at the VGAs, otherwise we're probably waiting until January at least.

Talk about moving the goal post.

There’s a very disturbing scene in MGSV involving a bomb being placed inside someone, and Sakurai ****ing referenced that scene by making that specific character have bomb in their spirit battle. And you haven’t played Bayonetta so you really don’t know what you’re talking about. Because those games are far more violent than the original doom.
Sorry for the late reply. I woke up too early for that presentation and had to take a nap otherwise my brain was gonna melt. Anyways I forgot about that part of Ground Zeroes. I still feel like the general themes of the series isn't as focused on gore or violence as Doom. It's mostly about war, espionage, being a soilder, and loyalty, but whateves'.

I'll admit I had no idea Bayonetta was as violent as she is but I already didnt want her in Smash to begin with simply due to her final smash same with Joker, and I've felt odd about Snake's inclusion since 2006 despite loving Snake and Metal Gear. There's definitely a line and I don't like seeing it crossed. It's bad enough that just about any character can get in now which has robbed the series of A LOT of its charm.

But at the end of the day this is just my opinion, I don't want Doom Guy in Smash, or MK characters, heck in fact I don't even want anymore third parties at this point.

"sMaSh Is FoR gOoD bOyS aNd GiRlS."

But yeah, it harmed Doom Slayer's chances significantly.

Even though he has muffin hands they gave Terry Kirby gloves, ffs. So my prediction is that fighter number 5 is going to have a shoestring budget because they spent it all on Terry.

Yep. The 3 most likely spots for the final character to be revealed would be the December 7th for the anniversary, the VGA, or a post holidays direct in January. Could be a real big dry spell for a while

Disagree. Big difference between violence/sexualization.

We have BAYONETTA in Smash, the definition of sex and violence.

The Doom Slayer remains a possibility, shining his chainsaw while he waits for the VGAs

There's still a double standard.

It's just Hadouken, Shoryuken and Tatsu. Double Hadouken for Buster Wolf and quarter circle back half circle forward for Power Geyser

Really the only thing Doom Guy has that Samsh doesn't like is the Blood and Joker proved that you can have a gun and replace the blood with stars.

Well hey look at that, Doom Guy would be shooting stars. :^)

I've said this before, but Sakurai is keen on keeping characters to their original roots. Bayonetta can get away with slight censoring of her hair clothes because, since even if there is no full nudity when she unleashes [im not gonna attempt to say the damn thing's name], the original idea that it consumes a portion of her clothing is still there, albeit reduced for ratings. Mai Shiranui uses her big jugs as an actual tool to beat other people by distracting them with their mighty presence. If you censor or remove that, you kind of lose a piece of the character, and if you have to sacrifice some key character traits, why include the character at all?

Doomguy can still be violent and not have blood and have the original idea intact. He's a violent demon slayer, but you don't need blood and gore to emphasize that much in his fighting style. The absurd violence is an aspect of DOOM itself, not Doomguy specifically.

Yeah. Just because you shoot someone in Smash with a shotgun doesn't mean they need to realistically fall over as their head is blown away. They just get knocked back like you pushed them.

I'm gonna just play it safe just to be sure and say DLC fighter 5 isn't Doom Slayer just to save myself disappointment.

Love to be wrong though.
